“…Are there cultural, religious or family norms and values which provide some level of decency? A recent study of informal workers in restaurants in Indonesia suggests that all these norms could be in play (Mahy, 2016).…”

This article examines recent scholarship by labour lawyers and industrial relations scholars concerning the regulation of labour markets and work relationships. Over the last two decades, scholarship in both fields has moved away from a narrow legal definition of regulation towards a more plural conception recognising the diversity of regulatory mechanisms and actors in this field. The article also charts a growth in scholarship on enforcement of labour regulation, as well as studies of the effectiveness or impact of regulation. The article suggests some key issues facing researchers of labour regulation and identifies some emerging research themes.

“…In line with this, the focus of this research has been on how the anti-corruption regime is understood by those functioning within it. This focus also fits with the comparative socio-legal approach that allows the richness of empirical detail, drawn from qualitative research, to determine the basis for a comparison (Creutzfeldt, 2016;Hertogh & Kurkchiyan, 2016;Mahy, 2016). This dissertation is descriptive as well as analytical, which has resulted in an explanatory approach that fits with the central research question, which asks why the anti-corruption regime functions as it does.…”

Conducting the research that resulted in this book would not have been possible without the assistance of many individuals and institutions. I am particularly grateful to all who participated in my research, either by taking the time to be interviewed or by allowing me to observe them at work. I sincerely appreciate your openness and your trust. Thanks to my supervisors Cedric Ryngaert and Kim Loyens. You have always provided both thorough and timely feedback to my work, and have continuously supported me in developing my own ideas. Together, you have provided an inspirational example of interdisciplinary coope ration, being genuinely interested in each other's expertise and appreciating differences in values between research traditions. I also thank the members of the reading committee: Kevin Davis, Judith van Erp, François Kristen, Abiola Makinwa and Karin van Wingerde. Thank you for your valuable comments and questions. And to my paranimfs, Jeff Handmaker and Judith Kaspersma: thank you for your support throughout the project, and especially during this final year. There were many people at Utrecht University who provided a supportive environment. I thank my colleagues in the research group on Unilateralism and the Protection of Global Interests (UNIJURIS), as well as my colleagues at the Utrecht Centre for Accountability and Liability Law (UCALL). I have also felt connected with several colleagues at the Netherlands Institute of Human Rights (SIM), the Willem Pompe Institute for Criminal Law and Criminology, and the research area of Institutions for Open Societies (IOS).

An estimation of the informal economy in the agricultural sector in the EU‐15 from 1996 to 2019

2022

This study is the first to calculate the size and development of the informal/shadow economies in the agricultural sector for 15 “old” EU countries over 1996–2019. The multiple indicators multiple causes model was used for the estimation of levels and development of informal economies of these countries. The results show higher levels of informal economies in agriculture compared with those in the overall economies. One main contributing factor to this development was a change in the subsidization regime, namely, decoupling Common Agricultural Policy payments from quantities of products produced, introduced in 2003. The effects of taxation, share of imports, and factor income in agriculture are also important for the size of the informal agricultural economy. Finally, we disaggregate the informal work into subcategories, such as self‐employed, family and nonfamily, and household work. The biggest potential for the development of informal economy comes from taxation, regulation, and self‐employment, followed by family work and unreported employment.
